John Gormley: Ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil leis an dTaoiseach, an Teachta Cowen, agus a chlann. This is a proud day for the Tánaiste, Deputy Cowen, and the people of County Offaly, particularly those in Clara. I have no doubt that Deputy Cowen's late father, Ber, would be extremely proud of his son's achievement. I referred earlier to the Tánaiste, Deputy Cowen's many fine qualities. I...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2020) See 2 other results from this debate

Mary Lou McDonald: I raise the issue of the sacking of the former Minister, Deputy Cowen. Many were left scratching their heads as to what changed between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. yesterday. The Taoiseach moved very swiftly from fully backing his man to sacking him. People wonder whether the Taoiseach learned something new and whether there is another twist in the tale or another piece of information. The truth,...

Michael D'Arcy: Mr. Cowen, you said earlier that the market sentiment had to be addressed prior to the night of the guarantee. And I'm quoting Department of Finance booklet Vol. 2. I'm not sure if that booklet was made available to Mr. Cowen but the, it's the memorandum from Merrill Lynch, it's page 113, dated 28 September 2008. And the second last paragraph, the last line of that and it states, "The...

Nomination of Member of Government: Motion (15 Jul 2020)

Paul Murphy: This controversy is not over. The Taoiseach has sacked Deputy Cowen to try to draw a line under it and he is spinning furiously about what he knew in an attempt to evade responsibility. However, the essence of the matter is very clear and it will come out. The Taoiseach colluded with the then Minister to keep vital information from the Dáil. They relied on legal threats to keep that...

Topical Issue Debate: Bord na Móna (19 Jul 2016)

Denis Naughten: I thank Deputy Cowen. I have no direct role in this. It is an operational matter for the company. Having said that, Deputy Cowen, like me, has received representations from transport staff, both on the rail side and on the road transport side, as has Deputy Eugene Murphy. All of us across the midlands have received them. There is a bigger issue here in relation to the overall industrial...

Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2012)
